An update set is a companion release used for revised squads, transfers or corrected collection information. It should remain separate from the 980-space main checklist unless official instructions identify a direct replacement.

Quick answer
What to remember
A companion checklist
Used for later squad or collection changes
Not the same as an Extra sticker
01
Why update products exist
Tournament squads and player circumstances can change after album production. A publisher may issue a later product to represent information that could not be included in the original print run.
02
Do not mix checklist types
Main-album, Extra, promotional and update items answer different collecting questions. Combining them produces misleading completion percentages.
Main album: required numbered spaces
Extra: separately inserted collectibles
Update: later companion items
Promotional: market or partner-specific releases
03
Verification rule
Confirm the product name, market, printed code and official checklist before marking an update item as a replacement. A visual resemblance is not enough.
